Exchange Online Quarantine Notification custom logo finally fixed

Hi All,

It has been almost a Year since i first wrote a Blog Post about the Exchange Online Quarantine Policy. I’ve already mentioned there, that the Custom Logo does not show up.

I had several Microsoft Tickets open regarding that Issue as you can see in my Service request history

I did see that there was an Open Issue since August in the M365 Admin Center Service Health . It took them almost two Months to fix it. Or almost a year if you consider, that it did not work from the Start (at least in my case).

These are the Options

Quarantine Administrator Role is coming to Exchange Online

Hi All,

A few days ago, Microsoft has anounced the “Quarantine Admin” Role. In the Future you need to be Member of the “Quarantine Admin” Rolegroup to manage the Quarantine.

Manage quarantined messages and files as an admin in EOP https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/manage-quarantined-messages-and-files?view=o365-worldwide

The “Quarantine Administrator” Role is not yet visible in my Tenant.

If you don’t want to wait, you can already create a Custom Role like i did here with the “Quarantine” Role and an assigned user.

Hi All,

Today, i Jabra Direct bugged me that there is an update available.

I am okay with a Message that tells me if there is an update. But why would you inform me every hour? I would not say the Jabra Direct ist that important. Anyway - keeping Software up to date is always a good thing.
